Krystal Archive Podcast
Episode 30

Recorded: December 15th, 2012

Last podcast was recorded almost one year ago!


Site Hacking and Restoration
Site hacked in March, restored briefly after that
Failure at host caused all files to be deleted from the server
Decided now was a good time to rebuild from scratch with a focus on making the site easier to manage
I created a post for people to request files while I worked on getting everything back online
I souped up security big time
Kat the Leopardess began helping me groom old posts so we can eventually re-add them
In the last two weeks, I've figured out how to completely restore the KA in such a way that we can never lose data like we did before


Restoring Sections
First, I restored the Saurian Translator and Star Fox Command: All the Words
Shortly afterward, I added a project page for Bit Fox Adventures, a chiptune Star Fox Adventures album, the brainchild of Laffe the Fox
Created a volunteering system, which was intended to help all of you report things to me like fanart, fanfiction, cosplay, and the like, without having to wait for an email
I still need to make proper use of that system, but I'll get to it!
Readded the fanfiction section. I plan on removing incomplete fics so that we can be sure there's no inappropriate content accidentally linked to in later chapters
Added all Podcasts as audio YouTube
Readded the image section, removing preshopped images, made title images for the base page
Readded Audio section
Readded Video section
Probably will readd the 3D Projects pages next, followed by Cosplay
Fanart will likely be the last, since it's the most complicated
